Buncefield, or is it Beirut?

Was at my parents this weekend in Hemel and took a ride over to Buncefield Oil Depot to take a few snaps. Not much opportunity there, so heres the best of what I got. Comments welcome but judges stay away!

Shocking stuff. Try imagining if the explosion took place when those offices were full of people. The death toll would have been in the hundreds. Somebody should have been seriously imprisoned for this.

the processing looks intelligent, i bet the shots looked nothing special in colour

Ha! Yeah you're right - they were very dull and didnt convey the weight of the situation at all. Hopefully they do a little now

i really like the 1st one

Great shots, i love the post processing, amazing, really does convey the possible devistation of what could have happened.

I think the first shot holds a lot of impact, however i feel its been a bit over processed and looks a little fake.

i think the first is my favourite, i like how the it leads your eyes into the shot.

Thanks for the comments guys, 'preciate it! HDR has a tendancy to look over processed, the B&W helps to avoid that though.

First one for me.

first shot but you missed a section of the sky when processing it - past the pilon on the right .
